ENERGY STAR® Dishwasher Incentive Program

Have you ever looked at a sink full of dishes and have gotten overwhelmed at the thought of washing all of them by hand?  If you are tired of being the “dishwasher,” in your home, consider purchasing a new  ENERGY STAR® certified dishwasher.  Not only will you save over 5,000 gallons of water a year but your dishes will be better disinfected.  With cold and flu season around the corner, disinfecting will cut down on germs and help keep you and your family healthy.

ENERGY STAR dishwashers have their own built in water heaters so you can lower the temperature of your home water heater to 120°.  This will save you 10% on energy costs as well as another 25% on energy operating costs. This offer will continue until further notice.

So, put away that sponge!  Buy a new ENERGY STAR dishwasher and start saving on water and electricity usage and earn a $30 bill credit incentive from PWC!

Calculate the ENERGY cost of your Dishwasher

Standard-size dishwashers that have earned the ENERGY STAR® label are, on average, 12% more energy efficient than standard models. Select the type of dishwasher you own, and enter the number of loads you dry per week. Categorize the loads by on-peak and off-peak hours.

For added savings, make sure the dishes are scraped clean, run a full load, and use a water saver or quick cycle when appropriate. If you don’t mind drying your dishes or waiting until they air dry, you can turn off the heat dry cycle.

How it works:

  1. Select the type of dishwasher you own
  2. Enter the number of loads you wash per week
  3. Select the number of loads you run during the peak hours

How it adds up:

  • See the number of loads you run off-peak.  The great the number, the greater your savings
  • See your annual energy use and cost when operating your dishwasher
  • If you run loads during peak hours, see the amount you will save if you shift to off-peak (note:  Calculator assumes some typical use is during peak hours.  If all you use is already off -peak, no additional savings will show)
  • If you use a standard dishwasher, see how much more you can save a year by purchasing an Energy Star dishwasher
